Verifying the purported past-life memories of children against the records of people who have died is part of a day’s work for Dr. Erlendur Haraldsson.

Panelists discussed what they knew about unidentified aerial phenomena (the new preferred term for unidentified flying objects, or UFOs) and discussed the possible disclosure of any remaining classified government information.

Concordance refers to the likelihood that two people with many similarities may think the same thoughts.

Nick Pope worked for the UK’s defense ministry, handling its UFO files. He recently discussed his knowledge of UFOs at a disclosure hearing.

A Clinton presidency could finally answer the question: “Are they out there?”

Astronomers Adam Frank and Woodruff Sullivan, at the University of Rochester and the University of Washington respectively, published a paper in the May issue of the journal Astrobiology exploring what they call the “cosmic archaeological question.”

A mysterious inscription on a mysterious artifact has been theorized by some to be Cherokee, Semitic, or Welsh, all intriguing possibilities.

Coincidences emerge in the minds of the beholders.

Ancient Origins investigates artifacts in Ecuador that could provide evidence of unknown civilizations, connections between America and Sumeria, a Vatican conspiracy, and more.

Medieval scholar Donald Yates, Ph.D., is shedding new light on controversial artifacts found near Tuscon, Ariz., in the 1920s.
